Volunteer Gardening with The Garden Classroom

What You'll Do: 

At Newington Green and Market Road Garden we'll be weeding, pruning, raking leaves, creating a loggery and a bee bank......... and generally enjoying being active outside. 

 

This is a great opportunity to become part of a local community group , share and learn new skills, improve both the appearance and the biodiversity of our local parks and green spaces and discover the opportunities that small local chaities provide. 

As well as the above there may be opportunities for you to be involved in our evaluaion of the programme .
